Hi, is it possible to configure bird in a way that it stops advertising route A as soon as it recognizes that the same route A is now advertised by another router? So to speak, make it 'respectful' to the advertisements of others - despite the fact that it has entries of type 'static' matching A? Best wishes, Amadeus

Depending on your routing protocol (I'm presuming it's a distance vector protocol), then just preference your originated route below that of the route it might hear. DV protocols will not in general advertise routes unless they are preferred. -- Alex Bligh

You can decrease preference of your static protocol (or create another static protocol instance with lower preference) so when route A comes from other protocol, say, OSPF, it becomes best based on protocol preference.
